The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) on Tuesday said the N30,000 minimum wage should not be a justification
for any form of bullying or victimization against the workers by President
Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
PDP made the remark while
saluting all Nigerian workers on the occasion of the 2019 Workers Day, for
their service towards the stability and development of our dear nation.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party also acknowledged the “patriotism
and resilience of the workers, particularly for remaining steadfast to the
course of nation building, in spite of the harsh economic conditions foisted on
them by the overtly corrupt, incompetent and grossly insensitive President Muhammadu Buhari-led All
Progressives Congress (APC) administration.”
“It is rather unfortunate that
Nigerian workers found themselves operating under an inept administration that
does not appreciate their inputs; that has no tangible strategy for their
much-needed capacity building and reward system, but only relishes in Greek
gifts and
official bullying.”
PDP cautioned against “such
unproductive tendencies, adding that the N30,000 minimum wage should not be a
justification for any form of bullying or victimization against the workers.
“The Buhari-led APC
administration must elevate its discourse in understanding that workers welfare
is not tied to a minimum wage but in creating conducive working environment,
established capacity building
and reward system as well as a
secure and economically viable environment that enable the workers, and indeed
all Nigerians to meet their social and economic needs without stress; as
contained in the Atiku Abubakar Master Plan.
“It is however unfortunate that
at the time Nigerian workers should have been getting ready to enjoy the
benefits of a new order under Atiku Abubakar, the nation is being set back by the
ills of electoral manipulations,” the party stated.
The PDP urged the “Nigerian
workers not to be despondent,
as the mandate, which was freely
given to Atiku Abubakar, will be retrieved at the tribunal.”
The party called on the workers,
as patriotic Nigerians, to
continue to put in their best in
serving the nation even as it wishes them a happy Workers Day.”
